The split mail.* facilities in the `50-default.conf` template is a problem for me on mail servers.  This seems to be an opinionated addition to Debian-ish rsyslog defaults as shipped, however I retained that functionality on non-RHEL systems for cookbook backwards compatibility.

The `50-default.conf` is very much geared towards Ubuntu/Debian. Which is not a huge problem, but the cookbook generates log files which will never get rotated on RHEL family, and probably other, systems.

This adds a hash knob to allow log facilities and log destination to be rendered in the `50-default.conf` template for these two requirements.

[COOK-2831] toggling of high precision timestamps

Cook 2540: Stop syslog when on RHEL versions below 6

Otherwise rsyslog will fail to start up

COOK-2521: Create all directories and configs with root/root as owner

This matches distro practice

this was a raise previously, which ended the run. Throwing a proper Chef::Application.fatal! instead

See [COOK-2377] for further details.
